Megan Hess: The Little Black Dress is an illustrated love story about fashion's most enduring and chic uniform, celebrating the designers, the women and of course the dresses.

A piece of fashion is so much more than an object. To the designer who created it, the muse who inspired it, the fashion lover who lusts after it, the stylist who is lucky enough to own it, or the star who made it iconic – that fashion piece is part of a story.

Introduced by Coco Chanel and made famous by Audrey Hepburn, the little black dress redefined how women dress and remains one of the most elegant and versatile pieces in any wardrobe. Vogue said it would become ‘a sort of uniform for all women of taste’ – a prophecy that has more than come true. And this little book is the perfect accessory.

Filled with fascinating information and stunning illustrations from Megan Hess, and packaged up in a beautiful hardback, Megan Hess: The Little Black Dress is a timeless love story, and the first in Megan Hess' new Ultimate Fashion Wardrobe series.

With photos shot in Sydney, New York, Tokyo, Milan, London, Melbourne, Toronto, L.A., Madrid, Florence and Paris, this collection is a truly global retrospective of men’s street fashion. Filled with striking photographs, Men In This Town is a record of the men who stick out in a crowd with their particular sense of just who and what they are.

For anyone with a love of photography, fashion or culture’s evolution, Giuseppe’s photography collection is a must-have.

Alongside the varied sartorial tastes captured on the streets, Giuseppe chooses a handful of men from each city who have particularly caught his attention, photographing them in various attires and interviewing them on their individual approach to fashion.

With cutting-edge, street style photography, Men in This Town is an exploration of the current menswear scene across the world's most fashionable cities.

Охоплено меблі середини століття, освітлення, скло, кераміку, текстиль, дизайн продукту, промисловий дизайн, графіку та плакати, а також архітектуру та дизайн інтер’єру, що є прикладом післявоєнного оптимізму та енергії, використання інноваційних та доступних матеріалів та форм масового виробництва, а також нещодавно розроблених принципів «хорошого дизайну».

Висвітлено майже 100 головних і впливових творців періоду середини століття, незалежно від того, чи вони живуть у Скандинавії, Західній Європі, Америці, Японії, Бразилії чи Австралії.

У комплекті з тринадцятьма спеціально замовленими есе відомими експертами та понад 1000 переважно кольорових ілюстрацій, це обов’язкове придбання для будь-якого любителя дизайну, колекціонера чи читача, який шукає натхнення для свого дому.

Про автора:

Домінік Бредбері – журналіст і письменник, що спеціалізується на архітектурі та дизайні. Він є автором багатьох книг на цю тему, зокрема Mountain Modern, New Brazilian House, Vertical Living, Mid Century Modern Complete, The Iconic Interior, Mediterranean Modern, New Natural Home та The Iconic House, усі видані Thames & Hudson.

Неперевершений ресурс для колекціонерів, включаючи сотні творів як відомих, так і менш відомих дизайнерів з усього світу.

Період між серединою 1940-х і початком 1970-х років був однією з найбільш продуктивних, творчих і захоплюючих епох для предметів і меблів у домі. Післявоєнний оптимізм, нові способи життя, інновації у виробництві та винахідливе використання матеріалів — усе це спричинило вибух внутрішнього дизайну. Від крісел і шезлонгів до шаф і тумбочок, це вичерпне та багатоілюстроване видання пропонує повний огляд сучасного дизайну меблів середини століття, із сотнями виробів як добре, так і менш відомих дизайнерів з усього світу, що робить його основним ресурсом для колекціонерів, шанувальників і любителів позачасового дизайну.

Від крісел і шезлонгів до шаф і тумбочок, період між кінцем 1930-х і початком 1970-х років був однією з найбільш продуктивних, винахідливих і захоплюючих епох для предметів і меблів у домі. Післявоєнний оптимізм у поєднанні з новими методами виробництва та матеріалами створив вибух нового дизайну та об’єктів бажання.

Апетит до модерну середини століття залишається таким же сильним, як і раніше, як до класичного дизайну (багато з них все ще у виробництві з моменту їх появи), так і до рідкісних, важкодоступних або знятих з виробництва виробів від менш відомих дизайнерів. Незважаючи на те, що протягом багатьох років з’являлися численні книги, присвячені сучасному стилю середини століття, жодна публікація не була спеціально розроблена для зростаючого колекційного ринку сучасного дизайну середини століття, зосереджуючись на кожному предметі меблів як об’єкті формального винаходу, інтелекту виробництва та інноваційних матеріалів.

У цій повній книзі описуються сотні творів у значному форматі, який ідеально підходить для використання в дизайнерських бібліотеках, студіях і будинках приватних колекціонерів – або як самостійний об’єкт дизайну. Кожен предмет меблів детально представлений, кольорово проілюстрований і профільований за допомогою глибоких описових текстів Домініка Бредбері. Значний довідковий розділ книги містить нариси про матеріали (наприклад, фанеру) і дизайнерські профілі. Усюди представлено роботи безлічі впливових талантів, а також менш відомі роботи Піта Хайна, Бруно Матссона, Ліни Бо Барді та Олександра Жірара.

Milton Glaser’s posters — more than 450 since 1965 — combine conceptual rigor and originality with a mastery of visual language and a high level of artistic expression. Some, like his 1967 Bob Dylan poster for Columbia Records, are icons; others, like his series celebrating “I Love New York,” evoke his best-known work. Milton Glaser Posters includes them all, with Glaser’s own commentary describing his thought process and inspiration. The book is a delight for the art lover, an education in visual expression, and an entertaining journey through the cultural life of half a century, all rolled into a single compact, intense volume.

About the Author:

Milton Glaser (b. 1929) is America’s most celebrated graphic designer and an articulate spokesman for the ethical practice of design. He opened Milton Glaser, Inc., in 1974, and he continues to produce a prolific amount of work in many fields of design to this day. He has had one-man shows at the Museum of Modern Art and the Georges Pompidou Center, and in 2009 he was the first graphic designer to receive the National Medal of Arts. He lives in New York City with his wife, Shirley.

Available again, the enduring, iconic volume showcasing the key early-career work and process of the godfather of modern graphic design, with a new preface by the author

Milton Glaser: Graphic Design, perhaps the most famous book of its kind, explores the early decades of America’s pre-eminent graphic artist. Glaser’s work ranges from the psychedelic Bob Dylan poster to book and record covers; from store and restaurant design to toy creations; and magazine formats including New York magazine and logotypes, all of which define the look of our time. Here Glaser undertakes not only a remarkably wide-ranging representation of his oeuvre from the incredibly fertile early years, but, in a new preface, speaks of the influences on his work, the responsibilities of the artist, the hierarchies of the traditional art world, and the role of graphic design in the area of his creative growth. First published in 1973, Milton Glaser: Graphic Design is an extraordinary achievement and indisputably a classic in the field.

About the Author:

Milton Glaser was born in 1929 in New York City. His artwork has been featured in exhibitions worldwide, including one-man shows at both the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2004 he was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, and in 2009 he was awarded a National Medal of Arts by President Barack Obama. His books include Graphic Design, Art is Work, Drawing is Thinking, and Milton Glaser: Posters.

An overview of the work of illustrator and designer Milton Glaser during the 1960s and 70s

From 1954, when he co-founded the legendary Push Pin Studios, to the late ’70s, Milton Glaser was one of the most celebrated graphic designers of his day, whose work graced countless book and album covers, posters, magazine covers, and advertisements, both famous and little-known. Glaser largely defined the international visual style for illustration, advertising, and typeface design and interest in his legacy continues unabated, with modern creatives acknowledging his influence; for example, in 2014 Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner enlisted Glaser to design the ad campaign and branding for the show’s final season.

His renowned work garnered solo exhibitions at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Creator of the iconic 'I ♥ NY' logo and cofounder of New York magazine, Glaser received numerous accolades and lifetime achievement awards. Across thousands of works across all print media, he invented a graphic language of bright, flat color, drawing and collage, imbued with wit. This collection of work from Glaser’s Pop period features hundreds of examples of his design that have not been seen since their original publication, demonstrating the graphic revolution that transformed design and popular culture.

About the Authors:

An international visual survey of the resurgence of minimalism in contemporary graphic design

MIN explores the resurgence of minimalism in contemporary graphic design. It showcases the elegant, reductive and geometric projects being created by designers who are moving beyond the ornate and pattern-based work that has dominated graphic design for the past decade. The book features 150 minimalist designers working across a wide range of formats and media — from independent magazines and album covers to corporate identities, packaging and branding. Interspersed throughout are essays on the history and context of minimalism in graphic design as well as exclusive interviews with leading contemporary practitioners and proponents of the movement, including Cereal magazine, Erased Tapes Records and the strategic brand and graphic design agency BVD.

With more than 400 original photographs of specific projects, each accompanied by a full commentary on the design and production processes involved, MIN shows the creative possibilities that design for print continues to offer in the digital age. It is both an invaluable source of inspiration and a visual reference for all professional and student graphic designers.
